Kristaps Porzingis finished a bit shy of being voted in as an All-Star Game Starter, but he’ll definitely participate in at least one event in Toronto.

Porzingis was named to the Rising Stars Challenge, a game played on the first night of All-Star Weekend between the top rookies and sophomores in the NBA. Porzingis, who hails from Latvia, will play for the “World” team.

Will Porzingis be selected for a skills competition, the dunk contest, or some Saturday event? He’s a long shot to be named a reserve for the big game, but you have to figure the NBA would like to tap into his mammoth popularity with one more event.

Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis was named Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month for the games played during October and November. Porzingis ranks third among rookies in points (13.7) and second both in rebounds (9.3) and blocks (1.9) per game.

The 7-3 Latvian forward, the 4th overall pick in the draft, had eight double-doubles and scored 29 points in a game against Charlotte. He had seven blocks to go along with 24 points and 14 boards in a win over Houston.

The 15 answers are the 14 players on the Knicks’ current NBA roster, plus the coach. There are some bonus answers, including all of the D-League guys. Last names are accepted.

The quiz will be updated as the roster changes.

Reports leaked Friday that Smith had been accused of choking a 19 year-old male at a pizza shop in New York. According to the NY Daily News and NY Post, Smith declined the teen’s request for a photo, and was told, “That’s why New York kicked you out!” provoking the often-emotional Smith to attack the teen.

Smith was in New York to play his former team, the Knicks. The incident reportedly took place at 4 AM on November 13.

Smith has denied the incident, as has his attorney.

This definitely bears watching, as Smith is certainly on thin ice with the league office and his 30 potential NBA employers.

The Westchester Knicks selected Jimmer Fredette with the 2nd overall pick in the D-League draft on Saturday. Fredette, the 6-foot-2, 26 year-old sharpshooter, will report and play in White Plains as he auditions for an NBA roster spot. Fredette was the 10th overall pick in the 2011 NBA draft. The Knicks have one open roster spot and, with Fredette being a lifelong Knicks fan, surely would have the edge in a potential race for his services (obviously, the next team to try to add him to their 2015-16 NBA squad will be the first). However, any NBA team is technically able to sign the former BYU superstar.
